Also, your use of the Laffer curve implies that you support "supply-side" economic theory, which no leading economist takes seriously, and which Reagan tried to utilize to no apparent effect. (Yes, the defecit spending boosted the economy to an extent, but that is not supply-side economics.)
(For those who are reading this and don't know, "supply-side economics" = "tax cuts for the rich are good for everyone".)
And I don't know if any of you support "starve the beast", but just in case: IT DOESN'T WORK. IT NEVER HAS AND IT NEVER WILL. Two of the last four administrations have instigated massive tax cuts; spending cuts did not follow. Unless, of course, you subscribe to the even more vicious version of "starve the beast", which is to continue deficit spending until the government is about to collapse, then destroy all social services to save the nation -- kind of like letting gangrene run wild until they have to amputate both legs.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
